stefanielle/marina one-shots

sicily

My favorite thing is flying. Since a little kid it has always been so fun and exciting and I love seeing new places. In a few days stefania and I are flying to italy so we can see her parents and she can show me around Sicily. The last time our visit got cut short and she didn't get to show me as much as she wanted.

I know stef has a lot of anxiety around traveling and flying since she was younger so I want to be able to be there for her so we can have the best time the next few days.

I finished packing yesterday so all I have to do is grab some last-minute things. Stef has been working a lot recently so she is able to take time off and she hasn't had time to prepare. The stress of that and the flight has been a lot on her so I decided to pack for her.

I got most of her essentials and some other clothes and guessed on some outfits she would want in italy. I packed a few more things and thought I was about done. Then I decided to wake stef up so we could head to the airport.

I gently pushed her hair out of her face and ran my fingers through her wavy brunette locs. "Baby" I whispered as she started to move. "You should eat something and shower so we can leave" I told her as she started to wake up more. "Okay bambina, but come sit with me for a bit" she sleepily replied.

I crawled in bed next to her as she set her head on my chest and closed her eyes again. "Love, don't go back to sleep yet." I told her as I continued to trace my fingers over her exposed stomach. "Tell me what you want to show me in Sicily" I tell her before she sits up a bit.

"Ok ok" she says excitedly. "I want to show you my favorite place on the beach and the dock that I spent countless hours on in high school just watching the ocean, and I want you to see my very first apartment, and my favorite resturant that one of my old friends from high school runs! Oh! and also I want to show you downtown Belpasso and all the cute shops and things!" she tells me before placing a kiss on my lips.

I can't help but smile and how excited she is to show me her hometown. We continue to sit together for a few minutes, "Baby, we should get ready to leave soon" I say before kissing her head.

We both get out of bed and she goes to get in the shower and I decide to make us some lunch so we wouldn't have to eat nasty airport food.

She finished up and came down the stairs with her beautiful curly hair down her back, as well as a tank top and a pair of leggings.

I had made us both salads and we ate them before going back upstairs.

"Bambina did you pack my brush? and my moisturizer?" stef asked while looking through our bathroom drawers. "Yes my love, I have everything, don't worry" I replied before handing her her sweatshirt and letting her place a kiss on my lips. "Grazie bella" she said.

Once we made it to the airport and through security we went to sit at our gate. We got lucky and only have one flight straight to Sicily.

We sat down and I looked at our tickets to see we had about a 30 minute wait until we could board.

I could tell that stef was getting more nervous so I held her hand. "Stef" I said trying to get her attention because she was zoning out. "Hm?" she said. "Do you want to close your eyes until we board?" I asked. "Ok" she replied as she rested her head on my shoulder.

I sat there and let her rest her head on my shoulder as I watched different planes take off in the distance.

We finally sat in our seats when we got on the plane. Stefania was next to the window and I was on the isle.

It was already 8pm so we decided to eat the meal they gave us and then try to sleep until we landed.
